1996 CC DS won't move!! solenoid or controller?

[Kramlinck1]

I have a 1996 club car that has worked for years with no problem. Recently the forward and reverse switch was acting up. Sometimes the cart would not move until I toggled the switch back and forth several times. I suspected a bad f&r switch so I replaced it. Since I replaced it I get nothing. The battery pack is fully charged. There are no clicks or sounds coming from the solenoid whatsoever. I jumped the small post on the solenoid to battery positive and it will click then. I've checked the connections to the f&r switch several times thinking I may have hooked something up wrong. Is it possible that my controller went bad? Should the solenoid still click with a bad controller? I'm not too savey on electric stuff, trying different tests I read about on this forum. I guess my main question is, should I jump straight to the controller? Thanks everyone!
